to the Isriailovo -_luarter. The distrnce to the ~:.remlin was a little
over 5k accordin' to Soviet work ien. A freiFA it-shunting and
siding' station with about 20 tracks was close to the -.lest end of
the plant; forriirir-. its cor;tinuation0 About 1 k"a south of the
rlnrt was an electric power station, allafodly the main lectrie
power station for Moscow Streetcar luxes passed alon(.? trio roads
close to the east and north sides of the niant0 he road on the
south side led to the railroad p' yerty.
2. Plant history:

In 1941, the machines of the plant were moved

were also four sentry to*lwers, manned by 4VD-soldiers, aro.md the

The r anufact.ure of V+-engines (preau-.iably M-.36139) in a;_ craft

The be(-irLnin.=- of the conversion to turbo-jet units seem:: to date
back as early as the 9'r ll of 1946, as is inferred from various
other reports it is also possible that, in
